Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ball pre-made pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 medium chicken breast
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and size.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté it for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the chicken over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Layer the baby spinach and cooked chicken evenly across the pizza.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the top.
Sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes (if desired) over the pizza for added flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza, along with the parchment paper, onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheeses are bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
